We had a reservation in this hotel, and after checking in at 1:00 AM, we were so shocked by what we found comparing to the deceiving pictures we saw on the net. The worst part of this experience is the bathroom. Anyway, we left after two hours at 3:00 AM where we had to find an other hotel !

The best place to stay in Barcelona..! Location is excellent: 5 min to metro station Barceloneta, very close to the beach, Old City, Rambla... The hotel is situated near Estacio França, the street is very good lighted, quiet, safe, with a lot of cafes and bars around. The room was big, clean, with private shower, balcony, big TV... well, totally...

I'll keep this pretty short and not so sweet ...
The location of this hotel is great, a 10-15 wander from Las Ramblas and less than 10 minutes to the popular Barceloneta beach. However it is let down by being a decaying hotel that is in need of a serious refurb!
The stairs (yes, there's no lift) are falling to...

This pension was typically very clean and in an excellent position but showed signs of wear and tear, it was disappointing to note that one towel had a number of wear holes, indicating it was very old and should have been tossed out long ago. Main issue was no elevator and we were given rooms on the fifth floor I...

We were assigned to a small and no-window, no closet, no-air con room which is not on the list of their official webpage. Facilities and service are bad. Even the hostel's location is good, highly NOT recommend you to make a reservation. 很糟糕的經驗! 我們被故意分配到與訂房類型完全不符的小暗房，窗戶沒有不說，連個吊衣置物都沒有、空氣充滿噁心霉味。經過抗議威脅與官網不符後，本來說客滿的房間竟然就跑出一間了! 還發生一些服務欠佳經歷，懶得多說。雖然區位好，完全不推薦。

We stayed here for one night before boarding our cruise at the beginning of September. The rooms are small but very clean, and the staff are friendly and helpful (within the constraints of limited English). Unfortunately, the Pension Francia is located in the top 3 floors of a 6-storey building. That means that it is a 3 floor climb just...

I booked my last night in Barcelona here because I was leaving early the next morning and just needed a place to sleep. The location is excellent. The hotel is easy walking distance to bars, sights, and restaurants. The building is old, but well kept and clean. My single room had a sink in it, which was nice, and the...

Staying in El Born / La Ribera

Neighborhood Profile

El Born / La Ribera

The labyrinth that is El Born becomes most apparent the moment you turn down one of its side streets. But this is one of the few labyrinths you might actually enjoy losing your way in. After all, there are few places that live and breathe such exciting energy regardless of the time of day. This neighborhood seamlessly transcends the old and new parts of the city, reflected in its vast array of restaurants ranging from fancy Michelin-star establishments to trendy fusion restaurants. Here you'll find historical and cultural attractions such as the popular Picasso Museum and the Gothic cathedral La Santa Maria del Mar, where you just might be able to catch a traditional Catalan wedding.
